House rules

🏠 House rules

We want everyone in the Pirate community to have the best possible experience using our studios. We place a lot of trust in you, so follow these simple rules to help us create a safer creative environment:

• Only bring people to the studio that you'd invite to your home. You take full responsibility for the room, its contents, and the people you allow in during your booking.
• Pirate is a smoke-free venue. No smoking or vaping anywhere inside the studios. We'll charge you if anyone in your session breaks this rule, and the charge increases if a fire alarm is activated.
• Close the doors. Keep doors closed to reduce sound bleed and respect other creatives in the studios.
• Pirate has a zero-tolerance drugs policy. Anyone found to be using drugs or illegal substances will be banned. Our security team monitors CCTV 24/7.
• Keep a dry zone around the equipment. Drinks and equipment don't mix. If there are any spills, clean them up straight away — paper towels are in the kitchen.
• Turn off the AC. Remember to turn off the air-con or heater before you leave.
• Be a considerate Pirate. At the end of your session, place all litter in the bins provided and reset the studio equipment. When leaving in the evening, please respect our neighbours by staying quiet.
• Report any issues ASAP. If anything breaks during your session, let us know via live chat or WhatsApp. We carry spares on site so you can get back to playing again straight away.
• No CCTV tampering. Any touching or moving of cameras will result in an immediate ban and cancelled session.
